Episode notes
Scalp Circulation Feeds Follicles
- Scalp blood flow declines with age, reducing nutrient and oxygen delivery to follicles.
- Improving scalp circulation can slow age-related hair loss and reawaken follicles.
Toxins And Buildup Harm Scalp Health
- Product buildup, heavy metals, and pollutants can create a hostile scalp environment and trigger hair loss.
- Cristina McKay warns low-quality products and toxins can smother follicles and increase shedding.
Ditch Harmful Hair Products
- Avoid products with silicone and endocrine-disrupting chemicals that coat, clog, or strip the scalp.
- Prioritize clean, organic, paraben-free products and address lifestyle root causes for lasting results.
